The Bones of A. Il. Stewart.

Mrs. Stewart gave $25, 600 instead of
the $50, 900 at first demanded. The bar
gain was made through a lawyer who
seemed to have no other briefs and who
probably got a good fraction OF the swag.
"The ghouls insisted that the money
should be delivered to them on lonely
hill iii Westchester county at dead OF
night. Thither i'll accordance with their
directions, relative of Mrs. Stewart jour
neyed alone in wagon which he drove
himself. At spot in the country road,
which had not been designated on de
scribed, the driver was suddenly halted by
masked horseman. This mysterious
messenger led him through a by-lane to
the hill top, where after certain precau-
tions to insure their safety, they received
the 1000, examined it and then dragged
bag of bones from another buggy near
by and surrendered it TO the keeping of
the solitary traveller. Before they disap-
peared down the side of the hill they com
manded him, ON the peril of his life, TO
turn about and descend the other slope.
The next night the bones were COM

LABOR NOTES.

The knights of Labor of western Pemsyl-
vania have formally espoused the cause of
twenty-one miners who, by the decision of
the state supreme court, have been remanded
to serve in the workhouse for nine months
for violating the conspiracy laws. Five
thousand petitions, praying the pardon board
TO release the miners, have been sent out.
The leaders of the Labor party in New York
will soon issue q call for q national con-
ference.
The Knights of Labor were organized in
Philadelphia in 1869. They were first known
publicly as the Teapot club, because pot of
tea was always on hand at the meetings,
for those members who drank nothing
stronger-no Intoxicating liquors.
The Columbia rolling mills at Lancaster,
Pa, where the employees have been ON strike
for over three months for Philadelphia
prices, has partially resumed work with a
new force at the old prices.

pose to carry on vigorous agitation Of tho
early closing question. A committee, APP
pointed to confer with the Clerks and Sales
mems council, reported that they were ready
10 work with the association and to do all
that they could to try and induce the em-
ployers to close the stores early on Satur.

BALTIMORE, MD, Aug. 13.-Tke Sun
published to-day letter from special
correspondent IN Dublin, in which he
speaks Of the disposition made Of the
money collected in this country for

"The- testimonial to Psrnell
amounted to E4O,O 900. Before this
his circumstances were much ell
barrassed, but with this he paid of the
mortgages on his property, started
sfresh, and his finances are row II 8 most
comfortable condition. Most OF the
other Irish Nationalist leaders have Deen
given testimonials ranging in amount
from $1,000 to $4,000. Michael Davitt
for long time would not accept
shy rewards for his efforts, but
he finally accepted testimonial il
the shape Of one OF the prettiest estates
TO be found in the vicinity Of Dublin
! Mr.. Cochran, head OF the largest firm il
Dublin, says there had been little or nc
money contributed for the Irish cause in
Ireland, and there could be no increase il
contributions on this siGc. 1t WAS the
money which Came from America which
ept up ell agitation, and If America
( stopped sending contributions agitation
would soon cease. The people in Amer
lea, he said, could have little ides Of how
many idle men were living on tdeil
money.
Speaking OF United States pensioner:
in Ireland, the letter says: "Among tht
duties of American consuls in Ireland i:
the payment to several hundred persons
who are on the United States pension
rolls, of their quarterly dues. A smsl
proportion only Of these ever were citizen!
